The Amish Cook from Oasis Newsfeatures

We've discussed on this website numerous times about how the Old Order Amish and Mennonites prefer to give birth in a home setting instead of a hospital.  But with many Amish not having ready access to telephones to summon help in the event of a medical emergency, sometimes coming up with a "compromise" between home and hospital works well.  "Birthing centers" outside of hospitals have been successfully established in some larger Amish communities in Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania, but I've not heard of anything like what exists in southwest Wisconsin's rapidly expanding Amish population.   Outside of Lancaster (NOT Pennsylvania), Wisconsin in the middle of pastoral, bucolic fields an old farmhouse serves as a birthing center for the Amish.  There's plenty of parking for buggies and horses and the outside of the center looks like it could pass for any Amish home.  This provides about as close to a home-setting as possible, while still being staffed by medical professionals.  It's a neat article...click here to read,   As an aside, if you do read the article, what the heck is the reference to New Mexico for?  Did that strike anyone else as out of place?  Perhaps this reporter was using material that had been prior published in New Mexico?  It's not a major issue, but it just struck me as out of place, I couldn't find any other references in the article to New Mexico?  The article would also have benefitted from a bit more information about what is in the farmhouse: electricity?  What type of medical equipment - if any - is on site?  Kind of some sloppy reporting here..
